"Yeah! I mean really take it away from them. It's only geese. I'm sure they'll find some other time to be a geese."
--A forty or so year old lady at the bus stop in respone to another ladys statement that they won't build something because there is a pond where people and geese like to hang.
Man has been endowed with reason, with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given. But up to now he hasn't been a creator, only a destroyer. Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up, wild life's become extinct, the climate's ruined and the land grows poorer and uglier every day. [Uncle Vanya, 1897] Anton Chekov
